I love the way that Jay casually says "'we had Cadillac do the styling", "we worked with Alcoa on the wheels", "Microsoft did a great job on the dash". The man is a rock star.

@Peter Evans The dash interface looks like a modern jetliner glass cockpit, which fits the theme of a jet car. Search for "boeing pfd" or "airbus pfd" and you'll see it's supposed to look like an 80's flight sim. I think they did a good job. See 13:32 for a goofy aviation-themed checklist. Air stairs, weight and CG (center of gravity), secure baggage...

Supposedly, people who drove them back in the '60s said they got about 16mpg. No bad, considering most cars back then got 8-10mpg.
When I was a kid in Hialeah Florida, I heard one of these travel down my street, it was late at night and I wasn't allowed outside to see it but being an aircraft nut at the time, there was no mistaking the sound of a jet engine powered car going down the street. We did have a super rich family in the neighborhood so I figured it was theirs, but I never heard it again.

Thank you Jay I’m 79 and I have never seen his team car run so I was quite a treat thank you very much.
I work turbines for a living, would love to get into one of these.
when I was a schoolboy back in 1960 or thereabouts we went on a school trip to Boxhill not far from London. As we got off the school coach in the carpark there was a Chrysler Turbine on display. We all crowded around and they asked me to put my drink on the engine whilst it was running to demonstrate that it made no ripples because it ran so smoothly. I can remember it as though it was yesterday. Fantastic.

I gave up a chance to ride in one. Mind, I was seven or eight at the time, when the Chrysler dealer from our former congregation drove up in total silence, and offered my Dad a ride -- apparently they were lent to dealers on a lottery system for the weekends, then back to the factory to see how they were wearing. Dad took a ride in it, but I begged off (hey, seven and a guy I barely knew by sight, not going to happen). Unfortunately, Dad now has Alzheimer's and does not remember the incident at all, let alone how the drive was.

@anewhope tosee not a fan of Tesla personally, but that wouldn't even be close. Just not how turbines work. They have to wind up. A battery run electric motor will basically have full torque immediately. The turbine 'could' have a higher top end if made for it, but this concept car wasn't even adequately designed for that speed. Apparently Jay tried it and lost a window due to air pressure @ 130mph, topped the car out @ around 165. Its a one-off custom - not a tested supercar.
1:08 Probably the coolest thing I’ve ever seen happen in real life

AMAZING truly amazing.
I loved Jaguar's idea for a turbine hybrid car. You sacrifice weight but you get the best of both worlds. You get the immediate torque from the electric drive but a lightweight, powerful micro turbine to give you the range of a regular hybrid. Sadly, the turbine didn't make it past the prototype phase, the production cars used a regular old 4 banger.
I love the design. It looks like something a deceptacon would transform into.
That ending was hilarious
